    Linda was 24 at that time. Her first solo hit and first Grammy nomination. She worked very hard on each song, the phrasing (when to breath), the accents on the words, the volume of each word. She is an amazing artist. Thanks for the video. Have a nice night. ☮🧡🎶

    The look on both your faces suggests that you’ve known this pain of unrequited love, a classic song trope. Linda’s voice digs deep into the pathos of the lyrics/music and touches the soul!

    This is such a great old song written by Gary White. Linda did the original recording of it, and I have heard the song by 2 other woman. Who both did a fabulous job with the song with the song. Which is often not the case. Melanie (Safka) and Mindy McCready both gave emotional readings of the song.

    Good Day Andre and Dominica
    Ironically, this is a 180-degree turn from her first song "Different Drum". 4 other Linda songs that can go well in this story of love are "I Can't Get Over You", "Cuando Me Querias Tu" (When I was Loved by You or When you Loved Me), "How Do I Make You", and "I Can't Help it (If I'm Still in Love with You".
    This is considered by most music critics and fans to be her most Iconic, powerful, and emotional songs. Though it has been a cover song for many female and male artists, no one has come even close to singing it as impactful and deeply felt as Linda. Another sign of her great voice.

  • @debbiechang5781

    Such a sad, beautiful song sung by the most exquisite voice on the planet. A very difficult song to sing and she performs it flawlessly. This particular performance is unique because it is the only live version I have ever seen that has the complete song! Every other television performance cuts out an entire verse. Love your commentary. Thanks for choosing this. 🌺✌️

    I remember hearing her say that when she had to stop performing she could still hit the notes to sing the melody but could no longer do the things vocally to make it interesting.
    I thought that was very profound and shows the difference in how a great singer thinks from the rest of us who would be satisfied with singing the melody in tune.

    I feel that love is a gift you must learn to give without expectations. And for the object of affection, even if you don't feel the same way, he/she must learn to accept the gift with grace and kindness.

    It may be urban legend, but I think it's true... back in the day Willie Nelson said "There are two kinds of men in this world, those who have a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who have never heard of her." When it comes to her voice, her talent, and her beauty though, I think everyone can relate. Thanks for reacting to this performance.

    I hate that the 3rd verse was not sung here. It's beautiful and really nails the song. As usual though Linda was great here. IF she sang this to me I would run away with her too. I loved Linda since 1965, first time I heard her.

    A suggestion: It’s another song similar to this one in the messaging, and just as beautiful. The singer is named Bonnie Raitt, the song is called, I Can’t Make You Love Me. Beautiful melody, beautiful piano and beautiful vocals. I strongly recommend it for one of your reaction videos. I know you reacted to this song sung by Teddy Swims, but the original was done by Bonnie Raitt, and, in my opinion, is the best version. You can decide for yourself. Hope you can fit it in. Thank you.
